A DRIVER"S BlOG........... A collection of driving languages

hello gather community

I am making a compilation of funny driving terminologies. You may contribute by way of comment. You may also comment as you wish.

INTRODUCTION

It is erroneous to believe that the fastest car on the road is the most fit or that the man behind the steering wheel is the most agile. In fact it is would be reasonable to believe the opposite. If you value your car so much, and your life is so precious that you cannot afford to spend a few days in a hospital then you should be feeling irresponsible each time you exceed 100km/hr or perhaps 150km/hr by most standards

1, OLD LADY  .. a formula came out for calculating the true  age of a car. Just divide the mileage of the vehicle with the present year. Example 170 000/2009 =84 years

Don;t lose your breath chasing old ladies. You are not proving any point. At most you will prove that new cars run faster than old cars.

2, PHANTOM OVERTAKE... You decide to overtake the car in front, you put on your indicator light, you increase speed,if the person in front increases speed such that you you are unable to overtake,you end up coming back to your original lane and position. You definitely earned yourself a phantom overtake

3, A MONSTER ... A car that has been modified for racing is a monster. For instance a car that originally came with a 1.6 litre engine and rim 13 may be modified to bear 2.2 liter engine and a rim 15. You do not joke with such cars. Let the monster have his way.

5, FALSE LEAD..... If the maximum speed on your dial is 180km/hr and there is a car behind you who has  a maximum speed of 250km/hr and you are struggling to prevent the car from overtaking you, then you are holding a false lead. It is a matter of time and choice.

6, DONATING TO CHARITY. some drivers feel excited, each time they overtake another vehicle. It is spontaneous and gratifying. If you allow cars that cannot ordinarily see your brake light to overtake you freely, then you are donating to charity.

7, FAMILY PULL,  when a man is maintaining a speed of 60km/hr because he is carrying his wife or because of family concerns, such a person is experiencing a family PULL

8, SOUL MATE.....If you used your life savings to buy a durable vehicle that you will probably drive till the end of your life, then you are driving your soul mate.

9, CRUSH,  If you spent a fraction of your savings to buy a not so expensive vehicle with the hope of changing it when you settle down, then you are driving a crush

10, DARE DEVILS..  they overtake all the vehicles on the road and you are occasionally forced to stop on your lane to avert accident and when you are recovering from the palpitation generated, the car is either out of sight or overtaking another, then you know that a dare devil has passed.

11,  ............to be continued  when you post your own driving language
